CASTLETON-ON-HUDSON - A storm that passed through the region Sunday brought with it not only rainfall, but also flooding to this small village in Rensselaer County.

Much of the flooding was the result of runoff from higher elevations that flooded out portions of South and North Main Streets, possibly parts of Schodack Landing, and minor flooding along roads throughout southern Rensselaer County. By early evening, flooding had receded so that most of the roads could be re-opened.

Three basements had flooded and required pumping by the volunteer fire department. There was a "good possibility" that the fire department would receive further calls for flooded basements, said Schanck.

Several trees had fallen, but Schanck did not know of any that had damaged houses. However, at least one power line was down at 79 Main St.; National Grid was on the scene.

The impact of this season's weather likely won't subside today, as a flash flood watch has been issued for the Capital District through Tuesday morning.

Residents are being urged to stay off roads with water that may be deeper than it appears.
